Bahraini Parliamentary Delegation Concludes Landmark Visit to the United Kingdom
The high-level delegation engaged in a series of strategic meetings and discussions focused on boosting parliamentary, political, and economic collaboration. Central to the visit was a pivotal dialogue between HE Al-Musallam and Sir Lindsay Hoyle, during which both parties agreed to embark on a renewed phase of bilateral parliamentary partnership. This includes the exchange of legislative expertise and the strengthening of institutional ties. HE Al-Musallam also extended a formal invitation to his British counterpart to visit the Kingdom of Bahrain in the near future, marking a potential milestone in legislative diplomacy.
As part of Bahrain's broader vision for economic growth and international investment, the Speaker also held talks with Alderman Alastair King, Lord Mayor of the City of London. The meeting centered on enhancing financial cooperation and investment opportunities between Bahraini and British institutions, while also emphasizing the importance of evolving legislative frameworks that attract global capital and support sustainable economic growth.
Furthering its commitment to parliamentary diplomacy, the delegation met with the UK Parliament's All-Party Parliamentary Group on Bahrain. Discussions explored regional and global developments, and both sides reaffirmed the importance of open dialogue in shaping stronger legislative cooperation. The meeting underscored the shared desire to build bridges between the two parliaments and contribute to a broader understanding of mutual interests.
The visit also featured a reception hosted by Bahrain's Embassy in the UK, attended by Members of the House of Commons and House of Lords, as well as British officials. The gathering provided a platform to highlight Bahrain's role in promoting regional stability and development, while celebrating the strong bonds between both nations.
HE Al-Musallam praised the efforts of His Excellency Sheikh Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Dean of the Arab Diplomatic Corps and Bahrain's Ambassador to the UK, for his instrumental role in strengthening Bahrain-UK relations. He reaffirmed Bahrain's commitment to advancing parliamentary dialogue with both Houses of the British Parliament to serve shared interests and support regional peace and sustainable development.
The Bahraini parliamentary delegation included:
MP Abdulnabi Salman Nasser, First Deputy Speaker

MP Hassan Ibrahim Hassan, Deputy Chair of the same committee
MP Zainab Abdulameer Khalil
MP Maryam Saleh Al-Dhaen

Farage: Britain Is Facing Complete "Societal Collapse"
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned that unless change is instituted rapidly, Britain will soon succumb to complete societal collapse. 'We live increasingly in a lawless Britain… most people think that Britain has become lawless', Farage remarked Monday at a press conference to launch a new law and order policy platform. 'We're actually facing, in many parts of our country, nothing short of societal collapse,' Farage warned, adding 'People are scared to go out to the shops, scared to let their kids out. That is a society that is degraded, and it's happening very, very rapidly.' Farage further suggested that Britain should leave the European Court of Human Rights in order to restore effective criminal deterrence. Farage maintains that the ECHR undermines the country's ability to deport foreign criminals, terrorists, and illegal migrants, thereby weakening criminal deterrence. He contends that exiting the system would remove legal barriers imposed by foreign judges, and allow the UK to swiftly remove dangerous individuals, free up prison space, reduce taxpayer burdens, and send a strong message that crime by non-citizens will result in certain expulsion. This, in his view, would restore effective deterrence by ensuring consequences are enforced without interference, discouraging both criminal activity and illegal immigration. Among a range of policies he outlined to avoid a descent into societal collapse, Farage suggested outsourcing hardened criminals to foreign jails and a hard-line three-strikes and you're out rule, meaning after three convictions there would be no more rehabilitation for offenders. He noted that one of the most egregious aspects of the collapse is that the government is obsessed with drilling it into the British people that everything is getting better when citizens can see the rampant degradation all around them. 'Huge numbers of law-abiding, taxpaying Britons have also lost respect for the police but in a different way. The idea, the concept that we're living in a system of two-tier policing and two-tier justice under two-tier Keir has really taken hold,' Farage urged. 🚨 NEW: Farage lays out zero tolerance law & order blitz:– Every shoplifting offence prosecuted– Stolen phones traced, doors knocked– Stop & search until knives are off our streets– Knife arches at stations? Absolutely– Fast-track arrests with pop-up custody centres–… — Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) July 21, 2025 Farage noted that crimes such as shoplifting and drug taking have been allowed to become a part of everyday life in cities, and that one in three Londoners have now been victims of mobile phone theft. He vowed that his party will work to halve crime in five years if elected to parliament by becoming 'the toughest party on law and order and on crime that this country has ever seen', and instituting 'zero tolerance policing.' Farage also floated the idea of Army run centres for repeat petty criminals to be held in and made to undergo a program of reform. He pointed to Rudy Giuliani's tenure as Mayor of New York City as an example of how to restore law and order in a broken down society. 'We are borrowing from the Giuliani playbook, unashamedly, I think what Rudy Giuliani did to New York in the 1990s was nothing short of a blooming miracle,' Farage stated. He added, 'And as someone who spent over 20 years working for American companies, I was a regular transatlantic commuter, and I saw what one inspired, brave leader with a New York Police Department that wanted to work with him… I saw what could happen, what the potential was. I believe London needs a Giuliani, not a Sadiq Khan.' Farage's full comments are below: Farage's comments come after accusations from major retailers that police have effectively stopped treating shoplifting as crime. They will however, thoroughly investigate spicy social media posts that leftists find offensive. As we've recently highlighted, inner cities in Britain have descended into complete lawless hellholes. It's so bad even normies are noticing the steep decline into the abyss.
